Watch: Hilarious – Drivers find all parking spaces taken at CPT mall as part of a disability campaign [video]

The stunt took a swipe at people who wrongly park in disabled spots

The mall filled ‘standard’ parking spots with wheelchairs and mobility scooters and attached the tired old messages we hear from people illegally using disabled bays onto the back of them.

Confused shoppers are aghast at the lack of parking available to them, as the shoe is put firmly on the other foot for disabled drivers who routinely have their easy access bays occupied by the less needy.

The stunt was planned by non-profit organisation Senecio and the Waterstone Village shopping mall in Somerset West.

They have had an increase in able-bodied customers taking advantage of the designated disability friendly parking bays. So to combat this problem the shopping mall got in contact with Senecio, a non-profit organisation that has been working with the differently-abled since 2008. Their aim is to create a better quality of life for children with physical disabilities in the Western Cape, South Africa

Some drivers carry on as normal, but many take the time to stop and read the messages. Statements like “I’m just drawing money”, ” I’ll only be two minutes” and “It was the only available bay” give the onlooking shoppers plenty of food for thought.
